Good morning D League

Expecting another typical day. Warm, sunny with probable thunder storm about 4:00 PM We are currently at 73° and may hit 90° by mid afternoon and then the rains will cool us down. I am going to spray my yard today. The grass around the lake can be a breeding ground for no seeums, skeeters and pests. The spray takes care of that and does not harm the lake.

Later.
 
Morning all
Left work early yesterday. Moved #2 and granddaughter back in... Hopefully she'll get it figured out. And her car wouldn't start...I think its just the battery tho. I will invest a little more time into that today.
Heat advisory.... I don't remember hearing about those in the 70's.
All I remember hearing is "it's summer, it's July, it's going to be hot and humid today." Climate change my ass.
I digress... bigger challenges ahead.
Do your best...
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F. Expecting 99°F or so later today.

Instead of hitting the pub tonight, I'll stay home. Plan on fixing a few things.

We'll check back later. Y'all behave.
Ah caviar. The food of kings and queens. We have a local favorite we call "fish roe" and it is always a special treat. Take these jewels, roll them in cracker meal and pan fry until golden brown and you are in for some good eating.

I was totally devoted to NASA. My father and mother watched the landing in my living room. The picture quality was too poor for it to have been shot in the desert.:joy:

I was sitting in our living room with my wife and mom and dad. I had a Polaroid camera and took a few photos from the TV screen. They have probably faded out by now and I haven't seen them in years. I think I will search for them for curiosity's sake.

That brings back memories. My pappaw ran a trot line across a little creek down the holler from where he lived in Bracken County, and he loved nothing more than harvesting fish roe from the morning's catch. He was rare for his time and place, a somewhat educated man who was a musician and school teacher before going to France in World War 1. When he got back he'd lost enthusiasm for doing more than keeping a small patch of tobacco that produced just enough money to keep his kids from starving to death, and fishing. My father loved him, but hated the poverty, and became an extreme hard worker. I trended back toward the middle...
 
Oppressive heat through Sunday and then some relief next week. Actually next week looks glorious.

Our tomatoes are going like gangbusters. These Earthboxs are fantastic, much better than expected. We'll easily get over 150 tomatoes with just 4 plants (roma, early girl, better boy and rutger). Maybe over 200. It's only mid-July.

Good-looking plants, 82. Happy eating. Buy some bacon, mayonaize, bread and lettuce.
 
But I can still dance. The only problem is that no girl want my two inch lift shoe on her toes! :weary:

Get a knee replacement in your short leg and have em put a 2" shim in there to even you up. Then you won't be walking in a big circle.

Sorry to hear about your father. Hope he recovers quickly.

I was sitting in our living room with my wife and mom and dad. I had a Polaroid camera and took a few photos from the TV screen. They have probably faded out by now and I haven't seen them in years. I think I will search for them for curiosity's sake.

We've got pics somewhere too. One is of me sleeping on a big chair. Dad always said I was asleep when they touched down but I saw it all. They took that picture the next morning because I had never went to bed.

This estate business is much more convoluted than I could have imagined. Just getting started too. Can't wait for the day when they enact that magic law that's going to make all the beauracracy run smoothly and efficiently.
 
My father passed this morning. The peace is a blessing. He lived 86 years his way, and was very private about it. Note I rarely speak of him. Out of respect I might add. I normally post about the family deep country wildlings like Bert. Here is a single linky about the paternal side. Linky Everybody knows too much about the family as it is.
5s are Great-great Grandparents
4t Great Grandparents
2u Grandfather
2u's son . . . my father

Thanks for the prayers everybody, and God bless you all.
